(no subject)
well been away for awhile. no biggie. just don't have alot of time for getting on here. besides you gotta be quick to beat "cort" on here...lol. past few week have been a little off. found out my mom has diabetes too now. she was panicing. but i think she is doing better now. i told her now she could understand why i paniced last year when i found out. then i got hurt at work. messed my back up. and now i am grounded on light duty. no driving my truck for awhile. i missss my truck. yes! i am whinning. i actually like my job. i am not the office person type. put me behind the steering wheel of a 80,000 rig anyday. then "cort" my daughter for those of you that don't know her. has a few personal problems. part of them are my fault, but i still don't like seeing her unhappy. so i have been putting back money secretly for me and her to go on a shopping spree at her favorite store or what ever she wants to do within my money range. so....shhhhh! don't tell her.
anyway back to my whining...lol. as you have figured out i drive a 18 wheeler. the truck i drive we pull 2 trailers known as doubles or wiggle wagons. the thing that hooks the 2 trailers together is called a dolly or joe-dog. the dolly weighs any where between 2500 and 3000 lbs. they are counter balanced with weights so they are actually easy to push, anyway i was aligning my dolly up to my back trailer and 2 of its wheels rolled off in a hole and the front of the dolly twisted around and hit me in the side kncking my into the hole also and spraining my back badly. and me being a hard-headed truck driver, i finish hooking my set up and drive back to my home terminal. by the time i get to my home terminal i have to get help getting out of my truck. i was in so much pain and scared. to beat it all one of our puppies gets hurt about the same time at home. and daughter "cort" calls me upset. wanting to know what to do? the object of this story is i was so scared and upset about being hurt i yelled and screamed at her on the phone. here i was trying to make it back in this big truck that was beating me to death or so it felt like it. i said so mean things to her and about her boyfriend.
so i am apologizing to the both of them for the things i said that night. when i know he was trying to help and support her. when she was so upset about her puppie.
i am sorry "cort" and daniel.
